Heading 700 miles today across one of the most un-scenic routes in America.
(Yep. Nebraska) Was asked if my wife would be along. We have had problems
driving in the past, so I am leaving her at home. Why?
Here’s an example of the last trip
TERESA DRIVING –
1. Pulls off at wrong exit.
2. Opens window
3. Asks directions of a knowledgeable police officer
4. Arrives in Minneapolis presently.
BOB DRIVING –
1. Pulls off at wrong exit absolutely positive it’s the correct one.
2. Drives five miles into wilderness, still thinks he’s right.
3. Drives an extra 5 miles just in case.
4. Finally rolls down window
5. To spit
6. Pulls up to a 7-11
7. Gets three hot-dogs, a large Slurpee, and beef jerky
8. Asks person behind counter how to get back onto the highway.
9. Gets back into car.
10. Laughs at the idea of looking at a map as he pulls away from the 7-11.
11. Drives down a dirt road with no street lights insisting this is the way
back because guy from 7-11 said it was.
12. Almost hits a deer
13. Gripes because it is getting dark
14. Unhappy that wife is just sitting there, being useless
15. Drives and fiddles with radio.
16. Yells at you for suggesting the map again
17. Admits he didn’t want to go to Thanksgiving at your sister’s anyway.
18. Hates your sister ever since she called him a pernicious weasel
19. He had to look up pernicious.
20. Couldn’t find a dictionary.
21. Finally found a dictionary
22. Couldn’t spell pernicious.
23. Seethes at the memory of it all
24. But she is laughing inside…
25. And of course you’re both still lost.
26.
The list goes on. But you see why I had to leave her behind . . . 🙂
